Enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for the direct determination of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in human serum. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.<br><br>
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the most active natural androgen in humans with a principal role in the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics and potential participation in a myriad of other physiological processes. The bulk of androgen production takes place mainly in the Leydig cells of the testes. Androgens circulate in the blood bound to proteins, especially sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) from peripheral conversion of testosterone, while in females most of the DHT is derived from androstenedione.
